The answer to you is "Makeup." Makeup creates that glowy look. You skin cannot possibly glow that well unless you have some glittering object on it. Celebrities use foundations like Vincent Longo to create perfect and flawless skin. Then they use glittering powder to glow. That is their secret-

Working out, fresh air, a good balanced nutrition and enough sleep, no alcohol and nicotine and plenty of water in combination with a good, gentle cleansing is the best thing to do for your skin. You state you spend a lot of time every day for your skin care - maybe you are overdoing it? Too much cleansing and creaming can also damage your skin. Keep in mind that all these "celebrities" you see on photos wear a lot of make up in combination with a very professional lightning.
So stop "freaking out" and relax. Being unhappy and under stress prevents that healthy glow, and yes, if you could fall in love, go for it! There is a glow that comes from inside. :)

your skin's health depends upon the kind of diet you take.
Have leafy vegetables, carrots, beetroots regularly.
have coconut water every day.
You already told that you spend good amount of time yourself, that is good enough.

do some facial exercises, deep breaths..

It sounds like you are doing the right things so far, but try that Aveeno skin care. I use this and have great results. Go here for the website. It's called Positively Radiant. (Product line).

Try also cream based blush so that your skin has that 'Dewey" look.

I also found this info :

Radiant, glowing skin is a surefire way to look more sexy and attractive, especially around men.

Follow these tips to get the results you want...

Eat the Right Foods

Oily fish (tuna, sardines, salmon) are full of the good oils, the omega-3 fatty acids.

They'll give you silky skin and glossy hair, as well as help to prevent you from getting diabetes and protecting your cardiovascular system.

Stay Hydrated

Water helps keep your skin hydrated. The good thing about moist skin is it's stronger and more resilient than dry skin.

Drinking water is especially important during and after exercising, as you will be losing extra fluids from sweating.

Exfoliate

One of the quickest ways to get a radiant complexion is gentle exfoliation, which literally scrubs away dead cells on the skin's surface.

Since these cells reflect light unevenly, they may make your complexion look about as luminous as a lump of clay.

Get Wrapped

If all-over glow is what you're looking for, body wraps and scrubs deliver.

Scrubs rely on natural exfoliants, such as brown sugar, sea salt, and oatmeal, to gently polish away old layers and reveal the radiant skin beneath.

Also try a wrap, where technicians cocoon you in steamy layers of linen and ointment, for total-body relaxation and optimal pampering of your skin.

Just don't forget to drink plenty of water; all that steam can be dehydrating.

Cleanse With Care

First, avoid makeup removers that contain alcohol or witch hazel, because these chemicals dry skin out, especially around the eyes. Instead, use plain vegetable oil, then wash your face.

If your skin is normal, you should use a non-soap cleanser like glycerin or Cetaphil once a day. If it's dry, you can forego products altogether and simply rinse with warm water.

Those with oily or combination skin should choose a cleanser in the normal to oily range and wash twice a day. Then follow with a moisturizer.

Be Quick About Baths

Dry skin isn't limited to the face. To help moisturize the rest of your body, keep baths and showers short and use a non-soap cleanser.

When you get out of the tub, towel-dry lightly and moisturize immediately.

That advice goes double for hands, since they get washed so frequently.

In fact, it's a good idea to put a bottle of moisturizer next to the soap dish in your kitchen and bathroom so you'll remember to apply it after every washing.

And if you do dishes by hand, wear gloves or use a non-detergent soap and moisturize liberally afterward, since the combination of hot water and soap is deadly to your skin.

Exercise

It improves the circulation of the blood, increasing oxygen in the skin.

Oxygen boosts your skin's natural collagen building and increases skin regeneration.

Both of these processes lead to healthier, more radiant skin.

Wear Sunglasses

The skin around your eyes is the most sensitive area of your face.

Wearing sunglasses will protect this vital area from the sun, and they will prevent you from squinting in bright light, which contributes its share to fine lines and wrinkling.

Less is More

Be gentle with your skin. The fewer products you put on your face, the better.

What most women do not realize is that there are specific "triggers" that affect our skin's ability to be naturally beautiful and radiant.

Here are some of those triggers to avoid...

Avoid Smoking...

Smoking promotes wrinkles in two ways: First, it causes blood vessels to shrink so you don't get proper circulation. This leads to reduced oxygen in the skin, which slows down the crucial collagen formation.

Second, smoking interferes with the skin's natural defenses against free radicals. When free radicals occur, skin breaks down. Smoking also increases the risk of some skin cancers.

Avoid Stress...

Some doctors advocate short-term psychotherapy to help alleviate skin symptoms exacerbated by stress.

Stress can make many conditions worse, including acne , psoriasis and eczema. Stress also causes sweating, itching and hives.

Avoid Sudden Dietary Changes...

If you're not getting enough fatty acids, your skin can lose luster.

People with eating disorders lose proteins and vitamins, which leads to extremely dry skin and other problems.

Avoid Sunburns...

All sun exposure over time accelerates the wrinkling process and causes brown spots- and most importantly, the risk of skin cancer.
